I usually like 14's on older cars and maybe 15's. The only way i like larger wheels is if you have bigger brakes that need the space. Large wheels with all that empty space is something i dont like. i guess yours will have bigger brakes right?

I am going with bigger brakes at a later stage but finding 15's/16's for these cars are hard as hell not to mention expensive

Looks like I'll be putting my MarkIII's on

All I can say is, WOW! What an awesome car. I was thinking of actually doing something similar. I just purchased an old school 1978 Toyota Corona Coupe (AKA Macho Machine in the Philippines) which I plan to restore. Initially, I was thinking of placing a 7MGE engine in it, but I have decided to instead go with the 3SGE engine from the IS200/Altezza (I will post photos in the forum once I start with the restoration). BTW, I like your color choice too. Please keep us up to date with your restoration and post more pictures!

Best Regards,Andy

Thanks Andy.... I can tell you that it hasn't been easy by any stretch of imagination and its an absolute money pit.

78 coupe is one of my favorite cars

Next will be full exhaust system, upgraded Brakes, airbags, Interior.
I am still not sure about the rims but for now will run my ROTA's untill i am able to drive this thing and try out different wheels.
